An envelope that move me to tears...the story is so beautifull and is known just by peticele. Once upon a time....a coloured thread.....some fabric pieces ...and a lot of imagination...this is how are born BIG PROJECTS that are everlasting...

A memory, actually two of them: a beautiful golden magnetic calendar and a desk one that will remember me, forever, that I was a small part of this project. Along with the rest of us...

and here you can see, one by one, month after month, the creations of each of us in the proper month, according to their date of birth. ...how thoughtfull of you, Sanda!!just for remembering the friends in life....( and by the way , Sanda: I do note YOUR birthday, too !;) )

Then my mother-in-law made me another gift : a beautifull cover for my coffee-table ( I don't even "think" to drink coffee on it, you know ) . It is made in hardanger technique on cream canvas this time...I just like more how the design show off on cream canvas then on white. Quite a work, isn't ? I already have several pieces made by her, they are all stacked on a shelf, waiting for a new home to be properly exposed/used.O new home with no dust at all...

well, for the rest something like this.... still love to play with the "cutter" under any form :)) and in any place : in kitchen or in my studio...of course, in each place different cutters ;). The result is quite the same : some pieces to put back together ;) Embellishments ? some home-made jam. :).

.. I like them , and seems to me that you like them, too... :) turn your head and wait : do you FEEL something ? something else, like love and kindness and a happy smile in your soul...yep! I knew it! you can't be alone in this world...

I used assorting colours for our friends dining....and fabrics that I bought , months ago, from Dungarees and Daisies - UK. It's "Peace on Earth" from Moda fabrics. I felt in love at first glance....I absolutely love them. I do have a soft spot for those paisleys . For all paisleys, in fact. :))

and when I put them on my table for the photo-shooting, I just can't believe how nice they fit in. I mean : fit on MY table. :). Unfortunately I didn't have any fabrics like those, in same colours, to make a new set for us....now, I'm so sad that at that time I was so... " shop-economic" :))

in the picture you'll see just four of them laid on table, because I am not allowed to touch my DH "decoration". Not at all ;).

They are so good looking....so good that I figure how about changing the chairs cover, then the tableware and at last, why not, even the cuttlery....maybe it's needed a little cream around here ? :)) but, still...to not forget: these are gifts for our friends :)) . This means I must set myself again at the sewing machine, to start some new pieces...how and what will they be ?? :))

because the central panel is made in paper napkin-decoupage technique. Oups! I was forced to recognise that I didn't made any test of washing the panel, not even thinking, at least, to doubt about the indications from the glue bottle if these are true ot not ...

:) So : I took a panel - also with an angel ;) - and I just give it that look telling : "- now it's the moment of proof!" . Going straight to the bathroom, let the panel in my blue basin ( yap, again blue. I love blue : ) )

then with no manners I opened and straighten it just to make a smiling : wow! how nice he made it over. My fingers become just a little slippery but that's all. The adhesive remain where it was painted. I mean on the paper napkin.

it pass nice and brave the water test. It took just a bit of a crinkled look, this makes it more vintage. That was the beginning ideea above all - a vintage look. Next to it, I put the bottle of adhesive that I used, made by PentaColor Hungary. Bravo for them ! I will remain faithfully to it and I will recomend it to anyone.
